Heterotopic pancreas (HP) refers to the presence of ectopic pancreatic tissue located outside of the normal pancreatic location without anatomical or vascular continuity with the pancreas. HP within the gallbladder (HPGB) was first described by Otschkin in 1916. It remains an exceedingly rare pathology with few reported cases.

Rationale: Peritoneal mucinous cystadenoma is rare in the clinic, lacks specific clinical manifestations, tumor markers, and imaging features, and is easily misdiagnosed and missed. Clinical practitioners should maintain a high level of vigilance. Here, we report a case of laparoscopic peritoneal mucinous cystadenoma stripping to improve our understanding of the disease.

BilIN is rarely diagnosed intentionally and is often detected incidentally in surgical specimens obtained via surgical resection for other types of cancers. Herein, we report a rare case of high-grade BilIN localized in the distal bile duct.

Laparoscopic resection for oesophageal duplication cyst: A case report.

Int J Surg Case Rep

Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2-5-1 Shikata-cho, Kita-ku, Okayama 700-8558, Japan. Electronic address:

Article Synopsis
  • - Oesophageal duplication cysts are rare congenital malformations that can cause symptoms like difficulty swallowing, stomach pain, or respiratory issues, and may lead to serious complications requiring surgery.
  • - A 55-year-old woman underwent various imaging tests that showed a tumor near the oesophagogastric junction, leading to a decision for laparoscopic surgery to remove it, which confirmed it was a non-malignant mucinous cyst.
  • - Due to the uncertain relation between the cyst and the oesophageal wall, more extensive surgery (lower oesophagectomy and proximal gastrectomy) was performed instead of just removing the cyst.

Hypercalcemia may be induced by a variety of etiologies, most commonly primary hyperparathyroidism. Although primary hyperparathyroidism represents a relatively common endocrinological disorder, ectopic PTH secretion is a rare entity that is less well described in literature. We describe the first case to our knowledge of severe, symptomatic hypercalcemia found to be secondary to a PTH-secreting pancreatoblastoma.
